Age: 168

Skills: Breath of Healing- Cratos has the special abilty to heal any wound with his breath. With one simple breath he can heal a large, deep gash. It was because of this ability Cratos didn't die of the plague, though it only works for him. Meaning, he can't heal someone with a disease. He also can't bring someone back from the dead. Though he can only heal a scratch, cut, bruise, or any other injury like that.
Wind- Cratos has a powerful set of wings. So powerful in fact that he can create winds up to 70 miles per hour. Its because of these strong wings he is also able to carry large object in the air, only to a certain altitude though depending on how it is. Cratos's gusts are so powerful if someone didn't know better they'd think it was a tornado or something like that. He mostly uses this to make his enemies fall down. Its more lethal in the desert, with all the sand it becomes like a powerful sandstorm of death.
Sense- Like all gryphons Cratos has great hearing, eye sight, and sense of smell. But his most powerful sense his his sense of touch. He can feel vibrations in the earth and determine who or what it came from. He can feel anything from a small pebble falling to the ground or even feel an earthquake before it starts.You could also say that they are his back up eyes. If anything where to happen to make Cratos blind, he would still be able to see because of the constant vibrations.

If you respect him, he will do the same. He gives off an aura of elegance, power, and wisdom. When he is around you, you know he is like that of royalty. A serious one Cratos doesn't tell any jokes or is sarcastic. Though h does know how to have fun with friends. Cratos is probably the most loyal person you will ever meet. Defending his friends in any situation. Cratos just by looking into someones eyes can see their true intension's, good or bad. He looks as if he is seeing into your soul, which is basically what he is doing. Cratos always thinks beofore he acts. Coming up with a strategy before going into battle, and finding his opponents weakness before striking. He is always willing to help, either with your own problem or a fight. Cratos is very strong, so strong he is able to lift a small dragon (like Zeltys, or Valkaria) about ten feet in the air. Cratos shows great respect for the "Kings and Queens" of the sky, bowing before speaking. Cratos also refuses to kill any bird of prey, he also won't kill any big cat. He considers himself a prince but not for reasons of power, its just a title. Cratos adores the air, if he could he would never land. For some strange reason Cratos feels better at night. He feels calm and safe staring up at the beautiful moon. Cratos has an excellent memory. He was raised to be a leader. Cratos gives orders, but can take them. He was raised to be a gentleman and help those who truly need it.

History: Gryphons came to Alagaesia before the elves, and the gryphons and dragons didn't get along to well. They always fought over territory. In result of all the fighting gryphons became endangered. When the elves came, the dragons came to the gryphons for help. The gryphons and dragons made a truce and called their alliance "the Skies Royalty." The dragons being stronger were the "kings and Queens" while the gryphons were the "Prince and Princesses." Once the dragons and elves made a truce the gryphons went into the Spine to live in peace. Unfortunately after all the fighting gryphons became an extremely rare sight, for everybody. This is when Cratos was born (not hatched.) He was born to the leaders of the last gryphon colony. Cratos lived a fine life, though he never had much of a childhood, he was constantly being taught how to be a good leader. Horror struck when a plague ran through the mountains. No one knew what it was or how to stop it. You couldn't even tell if you had it, you just drop dead one day. Some how the only one that lived through it was Cratos. He honored his parents and kind by living on. Cratos was flying around the Spine when he came across an injured wolf. The wolf looked like it lost a fight with another wolf, probably fighting for the position of alpha. Cratos let out a sigh thinking he was dead, when the wounds suddenly healed. Cratos could heal with his breath. Why did he have this ability? How did he get it? These questions raced through his mind. Cratos practiced hunting and killing without breathing so they wouldn't heal. One day Cratos was eating a fox when he saw something in the sky. Through curiosity he followed what looked to be a large bird. It turned out to be a phoenix named Kaileena. The two, after greeting each other, started to speak of destiny and fate. After hours of talking the two depearted. With the moon high n the sky Cratos thought about hat Kaileena said. [i]Don't blame yourself because you couldn't save your family and friends.You can't change the past, so make your future better.[/i] He realized then that he had this power not so he could save his kind, but to help other kinds from meeting the same fate! Cratos had realized his destiny, so he flew off into the sky to fulfill it.
